The comment is mocking part of another culture (eating with one's hands). That's the racism.

Living under fear of being shot over an argument or your children being shot in school shootings or living where paedophiles or sex abuse runs amok in top institutions (Larry Nassar, Sandusky/Sports, Epstein/Hollywood, Clinton/Trump/Politics are just some high profile examples) or being screwed by inflated healthcare costs is also not most people's ideas of a good life, but no one here seems to be mocking American culture.

And hundreds of millions of Indians are perfectly happy with their lives in India, so it can be "most" people's ideas of a good life.
